Shotgun work
« on: January 26, 2015, 09:08:41 PM »
I have a ruger red label that I am thinking that I want to port and have the stock customed, for sporting purposes.
Anyone have any recommendations for shops? I am having a hard time finding anything.  Thanks.
Well, I didn't drive 13 hours just to shoot once!

Honestly I think you'll find out that it's more cost effective to buy a used browning clays gun like a 425.The thing with over/under shotguns is they are built with precision and made to last 3+ generations.My shooting buddy has a 425 that's got more than 500 thousand through it.I've got 200k through my beater citori which I use for sporting clays/skeet/hunting.All that said your best bet for stock fitting that I know of would be John Zeppa,his shop is at Sunnydell shooting grounds in Sequim.I'd venture a guess that 99 percent of his work is double gun related.

Thanks for the input guys. I will check those out see where they land me!
Ya I already have the Red Label, so I wanted to try and keep cost down by using that gun.  We'll see I suppose.
